SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-jwf9-w5xm-f437)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416604

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions TFLite's
 [`GatherNd` implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d00
 5b81082a/tensorflow/lite/kernels/gather_nd.cc#L124) does not support negative indices but there are no
 checks for this situation. Hence, an attacker can read arbitrary data from the heap by carefully crafting
 a model with negative values in `indices`. Similar issue exists in [`Gather` implementation](https://githu
 b.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d005b81082a/tensorflow/lite/kernels/gather.c
 c). We have patched the issue in GitHub commits bb6a0383ed553c286f87ca88c207f6774d5c4a8f and
 eb921122119a6b6e470ee98b89e65d721663179d. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also
 cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also
 affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-37687)
